Eastern Europe got me - Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary - the big ones.

That part of the world has completely changed since I took high school geography. Show me a map from 20 years ago and I'd probably do pretty decent.

Since 20 years ago in Europe...

The Soviet Union has been replaced with Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus...

Czechoslovakia has been divided between Czech Republic and Slovakia

East Germany and West Germany have merged.

Yugoslavia has been replaced with Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Macedonia.

Kosovo, listed here, has not been recognised by the UN or by most of the world... they could have included Pridnestrovskaya Respulika, but unlike Abkhazia and South Ossetia, not in Europe, it is not recognised by anyone...

I knew the Balkans from the war - but the former USSR states beat me up pretty badly. The countries are all so big! Like, Estonia? Who knew it was so big!

And I used to know Bulgaria, etc..but they moved all the Eastern borders with the break up. Part of my process is to look at all the border countries and consider their wars and history. Geographic assets, like ports - indicate a more "news-worthy" country. From there I can work backward... :idea:
